Report received by NHTSA: June 10, 2022
Owner notification: October 27, 2022
Recall initiated by: Manufacturer
Units potentially affected: 2,925,968 (whole campaign)
Model names in the NHTSA record: FUSION

Components: Power Train › Automatic Transmission › Gear Position Indication (Prndl); Power Train › Shift Linkage/Cable/Rod

Remedy

Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge.

NHTSA 22V011000Manufacturer no. 22S02

Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Pedals And Linkages

Report received by NHTSA: January 13, 2022
Owner notification: June 13, 2022
Recall initiated by: Manufacturer
Units potentially affected: 199,085 (whole campaign)
Model names in the NHTSA record: FUSION

Defect summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii. Exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to corrode and separate from the brake pedal.

Safety risk

A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on March 4, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 13, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S02.

Report received by NHTSA: November 18, 2014
Owner notification: December 15, 2014
Recall initiated by: Manufacturer
Units potentially affected: 56,479 (whole campaign)
Build dates listed for the 2015 Ford Fusion: July 27, 2013 – October 31, 2014
Model names in the NHTSA record: FUSION, FUSION ENERGI, FUSION HYBRID

Defect summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to October 31, 2014, 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid vehicles manufactured February 24, 2014, to October 31, 2014, and 2015 Ford Fusion Energi vehicles manufactured July 14, 2014, to October 31, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the key may be able to be removed even while the transmission is not in Park. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."

Safety risk
